Panels from hell

This toke me 3 nites to get to this point... and they work !!
but im very happy with the outcome... couse this was S.. hard

Almost like x-mas part duex

Fool'd a bit around with the lifescanner parts... just wanted to see if they actully fitt into the pieholes i cut

Almost like X-mas

Skirt from wired droids! nice


Center ankle from JAG


Lower plate from the frame, center ankle and skirt prim'd


Skirt and center ankle painted

An forgotten prop or is it ??...

And whopti dhouu we have the center ankle set up :)

Testing testing

A little peak inside (not much room for a Dwurf)

And now on all 3 ankles + center foot lol

Next step is to reinstal all the piepanel and get em working(no servos) and get the sound system to make some noise!

Dosent look like much when its on... but holy S... WE are almost there... 2 pieces more !! and the outer is done done done!!

Traveling

Today i had made up my mind to bring R2-C4 home to my own flat, its starting to get so cold that its not fun to work outside with an astromech anymore...
God all these parts is almost taking up all the room in my car lol


But didt take me more then 10 min to attach the 2 outer legs for the first time :) more then happy... almost a real astromech now !!! WOW

A great builder day :)

Got up early today... and started building and painting.
All alu legs are now at 90% done
Front outer skin 90% done and all panels are moving (by hand for now)
Alu dome outer work done just need to instal the lights again and make the panels move :)
Finely got the missing parts for my ankles... they were painted in R2-D2 colors... have no fear friends.. they are now painted in sweet red imperial R2-C4 color lol
Enjoy
